You step through a low iron gate and the city noise softens—only the faint hum of wings and a warm, resinous scent. The Honey Garden sits in the quiet courtyard behind Belgrade’s Silos Cultural Center, a small urban apiary where hundreds of thousands of bees set a steady, living rhythm. One by one participants lie above a live hive on a purpose-built apitherapy bed, feeling the hive’s vibrations as the beekeeper explains hive air, royal jelly and the city’s relationship with pollinators.
